Discuss the following
1) Safety:
Rules.
2) Documentation: Spec. Drawings. Procedures. Welder approvals. Certificates. Mill sheets
3) Welding Process and accessories: Equipment,Cables, Regulators, Ovens etc
4) Incoming Consumables:
Materials/welding consumables (Size. Condition. Specification. Storage)
5) Marking out preparation & set up: Method. Angles/Root face/gap values. Distortion control. Pre-heat prior to tack welding if applicable*
Before Welding:
During Welding:
1) Pre-Heating (Min 15 C as per UW-30 ASME Section VIII Div-I)
2) In process distortion control (Balance or sequence welding)
3) Consumable control. (Correct baking for E-7018 260-425 C and storage 30-140 C prior to use)
4) Welding process (Related parameters i.e. volts/amps. gas flow rate)
5) Welding run sequence and inter-pass cleaning
6) Minimum/maximum Inter-pass temperatures (150 C for SS, 250 C for CS.
7) Full compliance with all elements given on the WPS*
After Welding:
1) Visual Inspection
2) Non Destructive testing
3) Repairs*
4) Repair procedures (NDT/Welding/Welder approval)
5) PWHT
6) Hydro-static testing
7) Submission of all inspection reports to QC departments*

Activities & Imperfections*
Activities & Imperfections*
A Welding Inspectors toolbox should contain*
A welding gauge (Cambridge style, or high low gauges etc)
A tape measure and scale
A wire brush
A magnifying glass
A torch and mirror
A specification, pen and report, or note paper
Welding imperfections can be categorized into groups:
3) Solid Inclusions
4) Lack of fusion
1) Cracks
6) Mechanical or Surface damage
5) Profile & Lack of Filling
2) Gas Pores & Porosity
7) Misalignment*
A HAZ hydrogen crack, initiated at the weld toe
Most cracks are initiated from stress concentrations *
Surface breaking porosity
Fine cluster porosity Blow hole > 1.6 mm Ø
Hollow root bead
An isolated internal porosity
Coarse cluster porosityShrinkage cavity*
Internal solid inclusion causing a lack of sidewall fusion
Surface breaking solid inclusionInternal solid inclusion causinga lack of inter-run fusion*
Solid inclusions caused by undercut in the previous weld run

4) Ductility*3) Tensile strength*
2) Toughness (Impact Test)*
1) Hardness*
We test welds to establish minimum levels of mechanical properties, and soundness of the welded joint*
We divide tests into Quantitative & Qualitative methods:*
1) Quantitative tests: (Have units)*1) Quantitative tests: (Have units)*
2) Qualitative tests: (Have no units)*2) Qualitative tests: (Have no units)*
Types of tests include:

Generally we use a diamond or steel ball to form an indentation
We measure the width of the indentation to gauge the hardness*
1)1) Vickers Diamond Pyramid:Vickers Diamond Pyramid: Always uses a diamond*
2)2) Brinell hardness test:Brinell hardness test: Always uses a steel ball*
3)3) Rockwell hardness test:Rockwell hardness test: Uses a ball, or diamond depending on the scale*

Direction of the test *
All Weld Metal Tensile Testing
Firstly, before the tensile test 2 marks are made 50mm
During the test, Yield point & Tensile strength are measured
The specimen is put together and the marks are re-measured
A new measurement of 75mm will indicate Elongation E50 %*

3) Lack of Root Fusion
1) Excess Weld Metal Height 7) Poor Toe Blend*
4) Slag inclusion & Lack of inter-run fusion
2) Lack of Sidewall Fusion5) Root Penetration
6)Porosity
Bend tests are used to establish fusion in the area under test

Lack of root fusion shown here*
Further tests include face, side and longitudinal bend tests*
For material over 12 mm thickness, side bend test may be used*

Specimen prior to test* Specimen after test*
The main difference between Macro & Micro is that Micro is the study of the micro-structure at much higher magnification
The limit of Macro inspection is magnification < X 10
The specimen is usually cut from a stop/start in the test piece
Remember! The process of inspection is to first:
Observe, then Report, then Compare!*
